Default Bloody roof

As the rest of the uk its getting really cold now, its regulary below 0c where i live at night.

Anyways i got into the S this afternoon, off to pick up the GF.

Whilst driving my GF says "Whats going on a just had a drop of water on my head", she looks up and spots the bad news...

There are lots water drops that have frozen to the top of the roof...whats going on?

Either my roof is buggered or there must be moisture/water getting in??? I have no idea.

Anyone?

Cheers

Condensation inside the car.

Just run the heater on full blast with the air con on for 2 or 3 days and it should sort it.

Fairly unusual with the S, but I've had it in previous soft tops.

Thanks for that.

I have had another look at the roof today....there are tears where the roof fabric joins to the lower half. This is the section just above the rear wheels arches

This must be where the water is getting in?

New roof me thinks

I'd have a really good look for damp patches inside. You could have a gallon or two sloshing around rusting up the floorpan.

a search should produce loads of threads on a common roof problem with the S
